For some reason I also was able to get most of my friends and family on Signal and just a year later I set up Matrix and now nobody wants no move anymore.
my god, what is your secret to getting people on Signal?
It used to be - this is an improved texting client. Then they removed SMS, and I think people are drifting away which sucks.
As a "absolutely few apps as possible" person, I would be long gone if there was a working alternative.
I found Element with SMS bridges came close, but was never as reliable as I need.
I guess I was just persistent and very lucky that WhatsApp did some changes so some of my family members were upset and then a group of friends were looking for something to include people who are not on facebook so I proposed it, etc.
